but there were numerous protest on the finishing order so i am pretty sure i am correct on that.[/QUOTE]
Richie,
Maybe you werent standing close enough to over hear my entire conversation with the officials, so next time introduce yourself and I will be glad to invite you in on our conversation so you have the facts.
I just want to be clear I didnt "fight" for any position for Chris.What ever finish the officials deemed final would have been accepted (without protest) by the 49. The reason being, I am quite proficient at scoring and also well versed at knowing, understanding and applying the rules. Attempting to submit a written protest of an official finish is a complete waste of time and energy. That being said however I would always encourage a dialog with the appropiate officials should you have an opinion or complaint about a finish.
I also encourage anyone who doesnt understand the official finish to Sundays race to speak directly to the Race Director for clarification.
